Baroness suffered a terrible accident in August of last year, seriously injuring 2 of the members and it really put the status of the band in question. Thankfully, they've recovered (though some more than others) and are back at it. This amazing band will be returning to Lawrence at the Granada on June 4th, with Coliseum in tow. It'll definitely be worth it to be there to support them.

Genre-defying band Torche will be back in Kansas City on May 30th at the Czar Bar. Their brand of pop-influenced stoner metal is some of the catchiest you'll ever hear. Opening the show will be Cherokee Rock Rifle.

This deserves its own post. One of the biggest bands in music history will make their triumphant return to the Kansas City area since 2000. And what's awesome is that MEGADETH will be opening. They'll decimate Kansas City on September 7th at the Sprint Center. I don't need to tell you who the are - you should already know. Tickets go on sale in May at www.axs.com

First up is Six Feet Under. This is the band featuring the original vocalist for Cannibal Corpse, Chris Barnes. They play death metal, but put their own twist of groove and rock and roll aesthetics on it. It should make for a very fun show! They'll be at the Granada in Lawrence on July 23rd. Support comes from Decrepit Birth and Cannabis Corpse!

====

Next up (I'm going out of order, here) is 3 Inches Of Blood at the Riot Room on May 19th. The response to their new album has been amazing, and they always put on a great performance! The only downside is that this is the same night as Katatonia at the Aftershock. Luckily the two venues aren't really far from each other, so it might be possible to see both shows. Opening for 3 Inches Of Blood is one of the best new bands around, Speedwolf!

====

Finally, after so long, Arsis returns to Kansas City for a headlining show! I've been waiting to see them forever. They'll be at the Riot Room on May 23rd, a Thursday, with Whoracle and Meat Shank opening. Can't wait!

====

After Cradle of Filth canceled their US tour, The Faceless hopped on Dillinger Escape Plan's tour. But what about their tourmates, Decapitated? Well, don't worry any longer. The Polish legends will be headlining a rare appearance at the Riot Room on Tuesday, May 21st. Unmerciful, Night Creation, and more open!

====

And also, Valient Thorr makes another stop in their favorite place to play - Kansas City! One of the most fun bands in the world, they'll make their stop at Riot Room with Gypsyhawk and Ramming Speed on Tuesday, June 25th. Seriously - don't miss them!

Riffing, thy name is Fu Manchu. The semi-legendary stoner rock band came
to Kansas City on really the first warm day of the year for us and
played their awesome album "The Action Is Go" to a sweltering packed
Record Bar.

After wailing on their instruments for a few minutes, the band kicked
right into the album with the kicking opening track "Evil Eye." Right
from the start, it was apparent there were more than a few diehard Fu
Manchu fans in the audience. Lots of singing along and lots of
headbanging - a girl even stage dove near the end. The crowd was great.
Each song from the album elicited huge responses from the crowd,
especially "Anodizer" and "Hogwash", which were two of the heaviest
songs of the night. They didn't talk too much during the set, but they
were moving all around headbanging into the audience. For the encore, we
got something a bit different than previous sets: Rojo Ojo off their
first album was a great surprise, and King Of the Road was a perfect
closer. The mic stand got thrown into the audience for us to finish the
song off. Perfect way to end such a killer show. After King of the Road,
Scott Hill jokingly said "ALRIGHT, KING OF THE ROAD FULL ALBUM, LET'S
GO!" before chuckling and walking off. Bastard!

Opening was Minneapolis band Bloodnstuff. They are a two-piece with a
drummer and a guitarist, but the guitarist had a myriad of pedals and
played so well it sounded like a full band was playing with him. I was
getting whiffs of Clutch, Queens Of the Stone Age, mathcore and, oddly
enough, the guitar one of Liturgy, all in one. Very good.
